The "Emmaus" course has been an effective tool for evangelism and adult initiation in the UK and throughout the world. "Nurture" is a 15-session course for enquirers and new Christians and should be ideal to use with enquirers, new Christians or as an adult confirmation course. The revised second edition includes the following features and changes: it has been harmonized with Common Worship material wherever necessary; it has more extensive background reading for leaders; inclusive language has been used throughout; all Bible quotations are taken from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV); there are more explicit links with other "Emmaus" materials; there is a wider range of suggestions for using video as appropriate; members' handouts have been reduced to two sides of A4 - making them easier to photocopy; members' handouts are interspersed with the "Leader's Guide", instead of being grouped together at the end of the book; additional information on the "Emmaus" series and issues such as time away and meals together has been included; and each session has either been revised or re-written - ensuring that the whole course is clearer and up to date.The second edition also includes a free CD-ROM that contains: handouts and supplementary handouts for all sessions as PDF files; an "Emmaus" poster; a Powerpoint presentation on "Emmaus"; downloadable supplementary material to use in sessions; and useful links to the "Emmaus" website.

1st edition published 1996 Nurture is the main stage of the Emmaus Course, designed to help people move on from knowing nothing about the Christian faith to becoming established as a new Christian in the life of the Church. This second edition has been fully revised and now includes a welcome CD-ROM with a wealth of support material. This includes files for concise handouts, which can be downloaded for each member of a group. Previously these were lengthier and could only be photocopied from the book. Nurture comprises fifteen sessions, each with enough material for one evening. A session contains leaders notes and handouts referred to above. Leaders notes have been extensively revised and updated and now include helpful background reading, together with a range of suggestions for other helpful materials. The addition of icons makes it much easier to locate particular passages quickly and improves the appearance of the text. As a leader, I have found this book a considerable improvement on the first edition and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of running an Emmaus course. Review by Dr Tony South, Emmaus Group leader, Leominster Priory.
